[DemocratSinceBirth]

The insulators union has endorsed U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, raising the Democratic front-runner's tally of national labor endorsements to 16 unions representing 11 million workers.

International Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers President James McCourt said in a letter to Clinton, reviewed by Reuters, that the union recognized her "strong support for fundamental labor standards" and "recognition of the significant contributions of our members to energy efficiency."

Clinton said in a statement to Reuters: "I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Insulators Union, whose leadership in energy efficiency is essential to making America a clean energy superpower."

She now has the backing of 16 unions that collectively represent some 11 million workers. Roughly 14.6 million workers - about 11.1 percent of the workforce - are union members, according to U.S. government data.
